Living in Minneapolis, MN was never my dream, however my place of work started to see a lot of booms in business! If you were willing to move you were going to get a sizable raise, but there were all sorts of locations being opened up in exciting areas.
There were sizable cities, hot states, cool names being tossed around.
I made a sizable speech to corporate about how I was a lifer & willing to do whatever it took for the corporation, but well I got my wish. I got a sizable pay jump, moving expenses covered, a extravagant title, good office, a business car, & tons of prestige. I just ended up in Minneapolis, MN of all places. So first off there is literally nothing to do here. Second, nobody ever wants to come & visit me in MN, last, the freezing is worth mentioning numerous times. It is super chilly cold. It gets around 6 degrees at night during the winter. I invested in a snowmelt system for my driveway because I couldn’t keep up with shoveling. I have hydronic heating all throughout my cabin & a boiler running on high. I am still freezing though. Snow & I aren’t friends. I have tried to embrace it. I have gotten into seeing hockey games since freezing states prefer their hockey. I have tried skiing & snowboarding. It is just not for me. I am hopeful that someday I can move back to a warmer state. Having a superb heating system helps however this weather is horrendous.
